Lefty, I think the reason for thin filament ends may be to shake the pollen about in winds. When I moved the pot they certainly did that! Your other reason could also be true though!

Magnolia, perfectly pure blooms! I hope they stay that way, there are advantages of growing in a greenhouse! Is it scented?

I suppose I can post the pic of my Nomocharis, it was one of the bulbs I got at the same time and is in the Lilium family.

It is supposed to be Nomocharis pardanthina, looks more like N. mairei to me. This site shows the one I expected, but I got it from rareplants which hasn't got it listed just now.

On this site they are the same thing! It doesn't have a pic of it but states white with heavy spotting. Mine is pink with a little spotting near the centre. That makes two I have that look totally different!
